This program helps prevent children and youth’s exposure to violence and creates an intervention plan for those individuals who have already been exposed.
Each year millions of children and youth are exposed to violence in their homes. Exposure to violence, particularly multiple exposures, can interfere with the ability to think and learn and can disrupt the course of healthy physical, emotional, and intellectual development. This program reaches the most vulnerable children, youth and families, including families who have not traditionally engaged in family services.
This program focuses on the unmet needs of children, youth and families by providing home visiting services, resource and referral, case management, individual counseling, play therapy, family counseling, and other therapeutic services to children and youth, ages 0-18, who have been impacted by violence, but are not involved in the formal child welfare system.
This program provides children, youth and families who have experienced domestic violence, family violence and community violence with a comprehensive continuum of care. The program addresses the exposure to violence by providing community education, training, and direct services to children and youth (ages 0-18) who have been exposed to violence.
